Why we should voice our ethics through capitalism not restraint.

Hustler Magazine has requested for the pictures of the decapitated body of Meredith Emerson,a GA hiker who was brutally murdered and killed 2 years ago.
The request was understandably met with public and political outcry. The magazine has said the pictures would be used apart of a news story the pornographic magazine is working on. It seems like no one is buying that argument or even if they are feel the protrayl of Emerson in Hustler would be disrespectful and appalling.
It would be. It would be sad, disgusting and wrong.
The family has already endured the pain of losing their beautiful 24 year-old Emerson and the media hailstorm of her kidnapping. There seems nothing more hurtful than to have their daughter's dead body paraded in a magazine that objectifies and demeans women. It seems like a no brainer that the GA government would put a stop to their request.
The problem?
The first amendment. The whole press' right to report and have access to public record thing ( the pictures of Emerson are public record).
In order to maneuver around that pesky part of the Constitution, GA lawmakers like State Rep. Jill Chambers are introducing " Emerson's Bill" which if passed will make sure crime-scene photos like Emerson's never can be obtained through Georgia's public-disclosure laws.
Every ounce of outrage is understandable and justified. But in this instance, I hope the court sees the forest through the trees.
Their handling of the case stands for so much more than the abhorrible instance this case represents.
Access to public records is essential to who we are as a country. We are a country who prides itself on at least an attempt at transparency of government. Watchdog journalism strengthened our government by exposing its weakness, its ugly truths and its injustices. The government knows that how they act is monitored and will not be swept under a rug for the sake of placidity. This type of journalism is predicated on our right to access records of government activity.
The government doesn't have a right to declare who indicated a legit mate press agency. and while there may be a general consensus that Hustler does not par with the New York Times in investigative reporting, the government doesn't have the right to say they are incapable of reporting news stories and prohibititng them from accessing records.
We cant make laws to avoid the Constitution or to manipulate it. Making the Constitution a document we tweak and bend based from situation to situation dilutes the meaning. if the Constitution is the backbone of our country, we cant remove vertebrates to become more nimble- we will crumble.
Now, here is my solution to this political and moral conundrum. Leave morality to the people. If we really believe that this is gross testament to the fallen morals of our times, we have every right NOT to buy it. We have every right NOT to sell it in our shops. We have every right to to protest stores that do sell this disgusting smut.
We have all those rights just as Hustler has a right to publish any public records it wants. But it is our job as moral Americans to raise our wallets, not bend our Constitution, in order to show Hustler their perspective is not wanted.
